I went to high school with David and he was my high school sweetheart. I've been searching for him for the last 20 years and to stumble upon this obituary 10 years later after he passed just kills me inside that I was looking for a ghost. There are some people that you just never forget. He meant a lot to me. We went our separate ways many times in randomly ran into each other all over Chicago. He changed his number so often that I couldn't keep up with him. I always stayed searching. Cheryl I'm so sorry for your loss. I've tried to find pictures of him. Maybe you can find me on Facebook or if it gives you the email address here, please contact me. Kate Law

To David, my boyfriend, my heart, my soulmate. Time stood still the very first moment I met you. You were a father to my son, you cared for Orion as if he were your own, and you are his Daddy. Every night I lay awake thinking of you, wishing this was just a nightmare. Your family and I miss you more than words can express. I loved you deeply, with every ounce of my being, and I don't know what I will do without you baby. Please stay by my side, until we meet again. Orion and I love you!

I dont have any words.. I am numb and completely lost. David was my one and only big brother. He was my father figure as well as my role model. David sacrificed so much for me growing up, and I will never be the same again. We did so much together..... he took me to my father daughter dinner/dance at school and we danced the whole night away. I wake every day and pray to God to wake me up from this nightmare. I look at every one around me and think "this isnt real" "I have to be in a coma dreaming" but when reality hits me in the face each and every day I know David's still with me some how helping me. Im trying to be there for my mom, but its so hard when Im speechless. Im trying to hold on to David and all the memories I have. At the funeral I never once told my brother "goodbye" or "ill miss you" I only said "goodnight my dear brother, I love you" there will a hole in my heart till the day my brother and I meet again. My prayers and love go out to my family I love you guys and I know how you're feeling. David.... I love you, and I hope that grampa and your father are taking good care of you... your my guardian angel now.
